Assemblyman Steve Hawley joined Genesee, Orleans and Monroe County highway superintendents on Friday to call for additional Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) funding. 

Hawley's office says it includes critical funding for county and local infrastructure, roads, bridges and highways. 

They are asking for an additional $250 million to be added to the 2025-26 state budget for local highway programs.

"This will allow us to recoup some of the real funding value lost to inflation since the five-year program was additionally adopted in 2022," Hawley said.
